Very good experience!

We recently used Olivia on a new build leasehold and are amazed at how quickly the transaction was. Buying a house is one of the most stressful milestones but Olivia made it the easiest milestone yet. Olivia was great - she provided us with ongoing updates, gave great advice and answered all our questions promptly. We would definitely recommend Olivia and are so grateful to have had her doing our conveyancing. Thank you so much Olivia.

Glowing Review for Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves to sell my property, and I can confidently say she exceeded all expectations. The sale needed to be processed quickly due to time constraints, and Olivia rose to the occasion with remarkable efficiency and skill.

From start to finish, Olivia’s communication was flawless. She kept me informed every step of the way, explaining complex matters in a clear and accessible manner. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and she approached each aspect of the transaction with unwavering focus.

What stood out the most was Olivia’s calm and stoic nature, even during high-pressure moments. She handled every challenge with confidence and grace, ensuring I felt reassured throughout the process. Her expertise and problem-solving skills were nothing short of extraordinary, and she consistently delivered timely, practical solutions that kept the sale moving forward without a hitch.

Thanks to Olivia’s dedication and capability, the sale was completed within the tight timeframe I required, which was no small feat. If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines exceptional professionalism with outstanding efficiency, Olivia Graves is the one to choose. I cannot thank her enough for making what could have been a stressful process so smooth and successful. Highly recommended!

Burcu has provided a professional, knowledgeable and efficient service in a family law case.
She has kept clear, easy to understand communication throughout the process which has been a great relief.
She has been quick and efficient to make amendments in my statements.
I would recommend this firm and Burcu’s services. If you are looking for a reassuring, capable and reliable solicitor, she is the one for you.

I am a retired solicitor and therefore am careful when selecting solicitors to do work on my behalf. The service I received from this firm - the solicitor dealing with the case was Bronte Haynes - was excellent. Despite what was at times a trying and difficult transaction - mainly due to very poor responses from managing agents - Bronte handled the case in a very professional and competent way. Phone calls and e mails were answered in a timely fashion, and as such I would recommend this lady and firm to anyone looking for a conveyancer of a very good standard.

As a local charity which is also a landlord we are very sensitive to how the matter is handled. Alex and his team understood this and provided excellent timely advice and service in difficult circumstances where good liason was very important.

Had the pleasure of Neil White acting as my solicitor for a property purchase. As a first time buyer, Neil clearly and patiently explained everything to me and made the process as pain free as possible. Look forward to using this companies services in future.

We are delighted to commend Bronte Haynes for their outstanding service during the sale of our property. Their efficiency, expertise, and exceptional communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Bronte’s attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that all aspects of the sale were handled with precision. Their clear explanations and prompt responses to our queries were invaluable, providing us with confidence and peace of mind throughout.

Thanks to Bronte’s dedication and professionalism, we completed the sale efficiently and smoothly. Their commitment to our best interests was evident and greatly appreciated.

We highly recommend Bronte to anyone seeking legal services. They are a true asset to their profession.

I am absolutely shocked at the arrogance that has been shown after my father's will was sent through a non-tracked service and lost due to their lack of responsibility.
I stress that this issue has been an on going situation for over a month now, with me having been patient and kind the entire time, understanding they may be a busy practice. However, I have been told that since my father passed away 6 years ago "there is no urgency", despite the fact that I am in need of the document for other processes relating to the passing of my grandmother in another country - to which there has already been a months delay now. They have also told me that it was "my responsibility to have the document after his death". Which is irrelevent to them and the fact is I did have a certified copy. However, I have moved countries twice since then and I am currently in between two cities over 1000 miles apart, unsure of where that copy is. All I needed was the original document for processes relating to a recent death and I am being contradicted in a, frankly, narcissistic manner.
Despite me waiting already for a month for any clear response about the missing document, my patience, let alone understanding, has not been appreciated and I have been left with nothing but a matter that is not only not my responsibility to resolve morally but also pragmatically as Royal Mail asks for the sender to resolve the issue on their end. Shocking behaviour and service. I am absolutely shocked.

Unprofessional service, no acknowledgment or response to a written letter requesting information. Followed up with telephone call, RDR took details and promised to look into it and come back to me. To date no response whatsoever. Couldn’t possibly recommend.
